Struggling with infertility and a stalled acting career, Gia wants to play Ophelia one last time.
Gia played Ophelia once when she was younger and fresh on the scene. And now she’s older, and wiser, and ready to give Ophelia one last crack. But she’s not the same youthful Gia she once was. Conflicted by the trials of motherhood, infertility and her youth passing her by, Gia must ask herself where her priorities lie and what it truly means to be a mother and an artist.
Fresh from its acclaimed season at Sydney Fringe 2025, Gia Ophelia is a darkly comic one-woman show skewering sexism and ageism in the performing arts.

The work these females, the writer, the director, the actress, have created is incredible…. Deep, sad, layered, this is a women's cry from the bottom of the guts. And with that, it is light on its feet, which is impressive considering the weight of the subject.
